The AI Fix #82: Santa Claus doesn’t exist, according to AI – December 2025

Author/Source: Graham Cluley See the full link here

Takeaway

This article shows how an AI first stated that Santa Claus is not real when asked directly. It then explains how to guide the AI with different instructions to get a more creative answer, like one that keeps the spirit of Santa alive for children. This teaches us how changing your questions can make AI respond in different ways.


Technical Subject Understandability

Beginner


Analogy/Comparison

Guiding an AI with different instructions is like telling a storyteller whether to give a factual report or a fantastical tale.


Why It Matters

This matters because it shows how important it is to be clear with what you ask an AI, especially if you want a specific kind of answer. For instance, by telling the AI to play along, it can create imaginative stories about Santa’s workshop instead of just stating he’s not real, which is useful for creating fun content.
